Kevin Carter - Sudan / Fotomuhabirlik ve Etik Üzerine - Çoşkun Aral http://www.fotografya.gen.tr/issue-1...
pulitzer.jpg
"Kevin Carter, Afrika'da zayıflıktan ölmek üzere olan siyah küçük kız çocuğu ile onun arkasında durup çocuğun ölmesini bekleyen akbabanın fotoğrafını çekmişti. Bu fotoğraf 1994 yılında fotoğraf dalında Politzer ödülü kazandırmıştı Carter'e. Ödülü aldıktan 3 ay sonra intihar etti. Şöyle diyordu geride bıraktığı mektubunda: "Çocuğu kurtarabilirdim, makinamı bırakıp onu kucağıma alıp yardım çadırına götürebilirdim. O an sadece gazeteci olduğumu düşünüyordum, şimdiyse önce insan olduğumu..." - Emine Okumuş

"Savaşın görsel tanıkları olan haber fotoğrafçıları, yaşamın en zor anlarını dondurup tarihe miras bırakırken, bulundukları coğrafyada, gözlerden uzakta olup bitenlerden insanlığı haberdar etme görevini de üstlenir. Fotoğrafçı da, her insan gibi, çevresinde olanlardan, şiddetten, vahşetten, acıdan, fotoğraf makinasının içine hapsettiği ‘an’lardan etkilenir. Fakat fotoğrafçı, mesleği... more... - Emine Okumuş

"Deklanşöre bastığı an, fotoğrafçının kafasındaki tek düşünce, görüntülediği anın kalıcılaşmasıdır. Hayat kurtarmayı fotoğrafçı da herkes kadar ister. Ancak, zor koşullarda çalışan foto-muhabirin öncelikli misyonu o anı görüntülemektir. Bu nedenle fotoğrafçı, davranışlarının otomatikleştiği o anda yaptığı ya da yapmadığı şeylerden dolayı sorgulanmamalıdır." Coşkun Aral http://www.fotografya.gen.tr/issue-1... - Emine Okumuş

kişisel düşüncemdir tepki vermeden önce dinlemenizi öneririm. Sadece fotoğrafçının değil özellikle anlık gerçekleşen acılar karşısında insanın tepki vermesi kadar olayın ardından yorum yapması o kadar kolay birşey değildir.

"I was in the pub yesterday when I suddenly realized I desperately needed to fart. The music was really, really loud, so I timed my farts with the beat. After a couple of songs, I started to feel better. I finished my pint and noticed that everybody was staring at me. Then I suddenly remembered that I was listening to my iPod."

Blood Falls | Atlas Obscura - http://atlasobscura.com/places...
Blood Falls | Atlas Obscura
"This five-story, blood-red waterfall pours very slowly out of the Taylor Glacier in Antarctica's McMurdo Dry Valleys. When geologists first discovered the frozen waterfall in 1911, they thought the red color came from algae, but its true nature turned out to be much more spectacular. Roughly 2 million years ago, the Taylor Glacier sealed beneath it a small body of water which contained an ancient community of microbes. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have remained there ever since, isolated inside a natural time capsule. Evolving independently of the rest of the living world, these microbes exist without heat, light, or oxygen, and are essentially the definition of "primordial ooze." The trapped lake has very high salinity and is rich in iron, which gives the waterfall its red color. A fissure in the glacier allows the subglacial lake to flow out, forming the falls without contaminating the ecosystem within." - Steven Perez from Bookmarklet

Cropping might be good for ex-husbands and like. :-) - John (a.k.a. dendroica)
Photoshop is really really not all that difficult - I promise. I was assigned to teach it one semester in grad school, and I taught myself from a book - and I'm not at all that clever or patient with these things. I now use the stripped down and much much cheaper Photoshop Elements, and I don't miss all the features of the other one - which you never use anyway. - Amy℠
i'd like to believe you, amy. i really would... ;) - edythe
I believe Photoshop is a bit overkill (depending on what you are trying to do of coarse). Since I've acquired Lightroom, I never use Photoshop anymore. If you are just looking to process your pictures and not add any fancy textures or what-not, I strongly recommend looking into Lightroom over Photoshop. - Justin Korn
Great look. Love the post - Aaron Brethorst
Yeah, Amy is right. Photoshop isn't that hard and pretty straightforward. I'm not an expert at it, but just with tips from Adrian and messing around, I can do a lot of stuff and am always surprised by new stuff. I just sat down one afternoon and started clicking. - Admiral Anika
Masking to do 90% of the shot is PS, but unless there was another shot in the series with just the helicopter tailfin, treeline etc. That is some tedious, time consuming and clever work the person has done there. The more I look at the two shots the more I think there were more shots in the series used - Either way the result is great, it really pops. - Mat Hudson
That's some nice work. The basics of PS are easy, and the basics will take you a long ways. I try to stick to the baiscs as much as I can as the more advanced stuff you see is pretty insanely convoluted. I think people also like to make things look REALLY difficult to make them selves look smarter and more VALUABLE. Just dive in. - Adrian
BTW, if you don't already have PS, just download "the Gimp" as others have suggested. It has a lot of the same features, but they are arranged differently and it's FREE! I can't really use it because I've been using Photoshop for so long that I feel constantly *lost* in the interface and it drives me crazy. If you don't have that kind of legacy baggage, it's great. - Adrian
1UP Justin. Lightroom is a heaven-send for photographers. Photoshop is a very powerful program that is something that graphic designers use a lot more I'd say at this point. - Derrick
I keep meaning to try Lightroom, read lots of great things about it! - Adrian
There was only one shot in the series..I cloned out the extra people. - Edward McGowan
They would need another shot from the series to reconstruct the tail but other than that the people removal would be tedious but not horrible, that background is very forgiving, the most dramatic work is the color retouching which can likely now be done in lightroom like people are saying. Photoshop is not hard to learn. Like everyone is saying, it's not hard to learn. 70% of what I know I taught myself. The rest you can get by asking and google searching and such. You can totally do it! - Rachel Lea Fox from iPhone
The trick to PS is that 70% of the functionality is wound up in using paths, and I will probably croak before I finally sit down and get fully comfortable working with those damned handles. - Roger Benningfield from BuddyFeed
paths! - edythe
It was not tedious..took me about 15 minutes....and there was no other shot..was all done with the clone tool. Paths...I don't even know what paths are lol :) - Edward McGowan
well, that gives me some hope. thanks, edward! :) - edythe
I think the people-removal was done entirely by hand. If you go to the large image on Flickr and look closely at where the background people were cloned out, you can see the artifacts... - Andrew C

Hey Edythe, while still on the subject of apples, remember the tray of sliced apples with caramel dip from the beach party? We STILL have it, and been eating it all week! You'd think they'd be brown/rotten? Nope. They are still barely discolored. WTF that's not normal! - Adrian
Adrian - did they come pre-packaged? They treat those with a solution so that they don't brown. A not-quite as effective (a in, doesn't last that long) home-remedy to that problem is to use Fruit Fresh. - Katy S
Oh, and ANEEEQUAAA - non-sequitor jokes happen to be one of my SPECIALTIES soooo.... :P - Adrian
^EW^ What did you call me? When you bring that fauxjito back out, you get a titty-twist for that one. - Admiral Anika
That didn't hurt. :p - Adrian
adrian, keep your kids away from those apples! they do sound bizarre. they'd probably do better munching on Anika's weed. :D - edythe
LOL, I just checked the apples again. Yep. They still have not changed. I don't trust them anymore. :) - Adrian
man, that is weird. - edythe

"One of the most photographically appealing areas of the country is a series of fjords that jut out into the ocean, like the fingers from a hand, in the northwest. Although the roads through this region are generally well maintained, travel is slow because one cannot simply drive across the fjords. One must instead drive from the base to the tip of each “finger,” meaning that a 15 or 20 mile drive might be required to make just a mile or two (as the crow flies) of progress from the tip of one fjord to the next. The scenery, however, is spectacular, making the drive quite enjoyable. Beyond the obvious photographic opportunities with which you will be confronted at sea level in this area, I highly recommend taking a turn into the surrounding mountains. Numerous unpaved mountain roads in the region offer elevated perspectives of the fjords and, sometimes, the rivers that feed into them, enabling stunning compositions, particularly at sunset for the west-facing fjords." - Jauder Ho from Bookmarklet

Zeiss Apo Sonnar T* 1700 mm F4 lens: Digital Photography Review
Show all
"Never before has the world of photography seen such a lens. The ZEISS Apo Sonnar T* 4/1700 was developed by Carl Zeiss for a customer with very high demands and a special interest in long distance wildlife photography. To achieve the highest possible image quality, the customer decided on the Hasselblad 203FE 6x6cm medium format camera and ZEISS lenses as the best combination for his special needs. At a focal length of 1700mm and a speed of f/4, this project even challenged the manufacture of the optical glass. The delicate, special glass types required for this unique design had never been cast before in such huge dimensions. Some of the resulting lens blanks weighed more than 25 kg (55 lbs.) and were valued more than a luxury sedan! Turning these blanks into the finished lens elements added even more to their value." - Jauder Ho Auto from Bookmarklet

Gauging TechCrunch’s Moral Fiber In One Sentence | The Cosmic Tap
“I would conservatively estimate that the feedback loop of mutual-Web2.0-masturbation that goes on with Arrington and the toadys immediately around him might evacuate 40% of the oxygen from the social media ecosphere. And that’s fine; jerk each other off all you want – it’s America. But when you decide to participate on the buy side of a market for the fruits of criminal labor, I object – and I hope your readers do, too.” #twittergate - Anthony Citrano from Bookmarklet
Well said Anthony. Connecting the current hubub with the reaction over the embargo threats really puts things in perspective. - Kenton
If someone receives stolen property, they can be prosecuted. But if a blog leaks confidential info stolen from a company it's "journalism." - Kevin Pedraja
@Kenton: thanks. I suppose I could/should have pull-quoted the sentence over to FF: “We’ll happily agree to whatever you ask of us, and then we’ll just do whatever we feel like right after that.” - Anthony Citrano
Yea...I read his post / explanation and cringed. How about if you had gone back to twitter and worked with them? These are guys and a company you have been folowing / connecting with for quite some time. He is right that someone else was going to come out with it...so why not go to the guys at Twitter and give them the opportunity to give techcrunch the story while at the same time... more... - Tobin Truog

Well put, Anthony. On the one hand the whole Arrington cult (can I say that? What the hell, I just did) bores me to tears - the tantrums and tiaras are too much to take, and anything that might prompt more people to check it out seems wrong. But the whole thing is wrong, so wrong it's too hard to ignore. I hope they are all very happy together. - WorldofHiglet
yeah, WoH, a lot of it seems like fourth grade, but with a lot more bandwidth. - Anthony Citrano
